Propose a change

Corporation Tax Act 2009

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

956 Payments in respect of limited interests followed by absolute interests

(1) This section applies if— (a) two or more interests in the whole or part of the residue of an estate are held successively during the administration period by different persons, (b) each later interest arises or is created on the cessation of the previous interest otherwise than by death, (c) at least one of the interests is an absolute interest, and (d) at least one of the interests preceding that interest is a limited interest. (2) A sum to which a company (“C”) with such an absolute interest is entitled in respect of any such limited interest which is paid while C has the absolute interest is treated as paid in respect of the absolute interest (and not the limited interest). (3) Subsection (4) applies if— (a) C's absolute interest ceases during the administration period, and (b) a sum to which C is entitled in respect of any such limited interest— (i) is paid after the absolute interest ceases but before the end of the administration period, or (ii) remains payable at the end of it. (4) This Chapter applies as respects any such sum as if the limited interest had continued to subsist while that absolute interest subsisted and had been held by C. (5) Subsection (4) is subject to subsection (6). (6) For the purposes only of section 951 (reduction in share of residuary income of estate), any such sum is treated as paid or payable in respect of the absolute interest.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
